Aircraft description
Airbus A321 received a narrow fuselage, but the level of comfort is not lower than that of wide-body counterparts. The maximum flight range is 5.9 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the aircraft develops an average speed of up to 840 km / h, which allows you to overcome even the maximum distance in about 7 hours. In the cabin of the aircraft you can move standing upright, its height is 2.2 meters. Among the advantages of the liner noted excellent technical equipment, maximum cargo capacity, endurance, safety, economy. This aircraft is perfect for transporting large groups of passengers.
The A321 is a medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by the Western European consortium Airbus. The A321 project, which was an A320 aircraft extended by 7 m, was announced by the consortium in April 1988, and in May 1989, the consortium began searching for customers. The A321-100 program officially began at the end of November 1989. The final assembly of the aircraft was chosen by the plant of the German company DASA in Hamburg; before that, all aircraft of the Airbus Industry consortium were assembled at the aviation complex in Toulouse (France). The first prototype aircraft A321-100 took to the skies on March 11, 1993, and in January 1995, Lufthansa Airlines received the first serial board.
The A321 is the largest in the A320 family. The standard layout of the A321 provides for accommodation of 170 passengers in two classes or up to 220 passengers in one class for charter and budget transportation, with a flight range of up to 5900 km.
The aircraft is equipped with a digital avionics complex EFIS, similar to the A320. It has been produced serially since 1993.
